Basic health information for travelers to Australia

Dengue, Murray Valley Encephalitis (MVE) and Ross River Fever (RRF) occur periodically in northern parts of Australia (the Northern Territory, North Queensland and northern Western Australia) and in parts of South Australia. Sensible countermeasures include wearing plenty of tight fitting clothing that exposes little in the way of raw skin for the mosquitoes to attack and large amounts of insect repellent for defence.

All travellers should seek medical advice before travelling to the country and ensure that all appropriate vaccinations are up to date.

It is always recommended to keep a certificate of vaccination against Yellow Fever when one has travelled to countries with infected areas.

Basic security information for travelers to Australia

There is a general danger of terrorist attacks of foreign visitors to the country. All travellers should take care when in public places or travelling to more remote sections of the country.

Instances of street crime and violent robbery have been reported in several major cities throughout the country and all travellers are advised to keep their passport and other valuables in a safe and secure location for the duration of their visit and should avoid any obvious displays of affluence which could potentially attract attention. Travel alone after dark is not recommended and all visitors should keep at least one copy of their passport with them at all times in case of an emergency.
